"The Lord is slow to anger and great in power." Nahum 1:3
It is good to know that God's rod of mercy is always in His outstretched hand; while his sword of justice is held by the pierced hand of love which bled for the sins of humanity.
Our blessing is that God's power is so great that He has power over himself. Consider: A weak mind is irritated at the slightest thing: the strong mind bears insults like a rock and see pity instead of malice. If God did not have power over Himself, at our slightest sin He would send forth the judgement and the justice that our errant actions required. "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life."
That's why we can run to God for refuge, even in the midst of our wrongdoing, because of your faith in God, you don't have to be terrified of his power because you know the depths of His love.
